Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Lea & Perrins® The Original Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together Worcestershire Sauce, lemon juice, sugar, mustard and pepper. Place chicken in marinade and turn until well-coated. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for one hour, or overnight if desired, turning occasionally.
2. Remove chicken from refrigerator, reserving marinade. Grill chicken over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through, basting frequently for first 5 minutes. Discard any remaining marinade.

Here's a tip: For stovetop method, use large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through, basting frequently for first 5 minutes. Discard any remaining marinade.

Yummy Mexican Sundae Dessert Recipe

Meal planning is a bit easier when you create dinners around themes. Tonight was Taco Night complete with sweet corn and rice. Since the meal was quite simple, I decided to turn things up a notch with a special and oh so yummy dessert.

My Simple Mexican Sundae Recipe

Ingredients: Flour tortillas, Vegetable Oil, Cinnamon, Sugar, Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Syrup & Chocolate Sprinkles

1) Pre-heat your oil in a Fry Daddy or skillet. I used our FryDaddy since it was already oiled up from last night's dinner. While it's pre-heating, mix the sugar and cinnamon to make a CinnaSugar Mix for your tortillas.

2) Place one tortilla in the fryer basket and slowly lower it down into the oil.

3) Let it cook for 30-45 seconds-depending on how hot your oil is. You'll know it's ready when it's turned a bit golden & bubbles up.

4) Remove the tortilla from the basket & sprinkle with the sugar & cinnamon mixture on both sides of the tortilla. While the tortilla is hot, it's easiest to mold it into a bowl.

5) Add your ice cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup and add some chocolate sprinkles.

6) Enjoy!

            

 This is one sweet dessert that you should definitely try! Thanks for popping by!



Our Old School Dinner Menu: Sloppy Joes & Tots

Lately my 5-year old has been obsessed with all things old school AKA "things mommy liked when she was a little girl. The Smurfs, Goonies & the Jetsons to name a few.

My hubs has helped foster his love by showing him old NBA footage. He loves watching Michael Jordan's dunks & highlights and thinks it's hilarious that players wore such TINY shorts back in the day.

So, tonight I'm making a meal that's sure to please the young & the old school (hubs & me)!! Click the links for Cooks.Com recipes.

31 Days of Simple Blessings: Day 7-Snow Ice Cream Recipe

Where does time go? This was December 08! Wow!

One of the things I love most about growing up in the Midwest is Snow Days!! I have some fun memories of my siblings and I staying outside until we just about froze-running around the neighborhood building snow forts and having snowball battles with the other kids on our block. Then coming back inside for a steamy cup of hot cocoa and marshmallows. My mom's the best!

So, it's a beautiful snowy day here in Indy. I'm way past running around our neighborhood building forts and such (we're sitting by the fireplace in our pjs), but I did want to do something yummy on this wintery day. My 5-year old Kanon suggested we make some Snow Ice Cream. This brought back old memories-our dad used to make this for us when we were little. Time flies!

Enjoy the recipe (from About.com) and please share any of your fun snow-filled memories!!

How to Make Snow Ice Cream

• 1 cup of milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup sugar
• CLEAN Snow

Preparation:

Go outside and get 4 - 5 cups of fresh, clean snow. Don't pack the snow! Bring it in the house and set it in the freezer until you need it.

Mix together the milk, vanilla, and the sugar. Stir this mixture until the sugar is dissolved. Slowly add the snow to your mixture, stirring constantly, until it is as thick as ice cream! Eat up!
